Vino Bianco Dolce “Buca delle Canne" - La Stoppa

The "Buca delle Canne" of La Stoppa is an elegant and sumptuous sweet wine that comes from pure white grapes, and produced in very limited quantities. The grapes come from vines that reach an average age of 100 years, planted on imy-clay soils. The harvest takes place when the grapes are struck by noble rot. In the cellar the fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, and the refinement is carried out for two years in used French oak barrels and in bottles for the necessary time. The "Buca delle Canne" is golden yellow in color. The nose expresses aromas of saffron, honey, dry chips and aromatic notes. In the mouth it is complex fine and delicate, well balanced between acidity and sweetness. The persistence is very long.

Pairings

It is a perfect accompaniment to blue or very mature cheeses and foie gras. Also excellent on ricotta desserts and dry pastries.

Cellar: La Stoppa

Stoppa is on the slopes of the Tumulus valley, in the province of Piacenza, near the river Trebbia. Historical company was founded more than a hundred years ago by lawyer Ageno, an exuberant and charismatic character who started planting French vineyards and gave curious name wines; Pinò, Bordò and Bordò Bianco. In 1973 the Pantaleone family acquired the property and in a short time put the vineyards and the cellar. Today, the company is led by Elena Pantaleoni who, with the valuable help of Giulio Armani, cultivates about 30 hectares of vineyards planted in Barbera, Malvasia of Candia Aromatica, Bonarda, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Semillon. Elena immediately decided to convert the methods of processing into vineyards according to biological practices and respect for nature, which is facilitated by the low natural yields given by both its old vineyards and poor soil, which results in products already born In a vineyard that does not need excessive work in the cellar. La Stoppa's wines are authentic, true, natural wines that reflect Elena's words: "The task of man is to understand the territory in which he lives, enhancing the specific expressions and manifestations of the fruits of nature."
